Back Pain & Sports Injury specialist
What would you do if your body stopped holding you back?
Run further. Lift heavier. Bike longer.
Take on that mountain adventure.
And still be doing it at 70, 80 and beyond.
Maybe pain or injury has already stopped you. Or you’re still active, but increasingly working around aches, flare-ups and limitations you’ve started accepting as normal.
It’s easy to blame age, genetics, old injuries, bad luck or the price of being active.
But who says it has to be that way?
Recurring pain and injury aren't something you should simply accept as inevitable.
There is far more you can influence and change than you realise.
Feeling better doesn't always mean the problem has been solved.
Treatment can ease pain. Rehab can get you moving again. And that’s important.
But what if you’re fed up with recovering, getting back to doing what you love, only for another injury or flare-up to stop you?
Getting out of pain doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve changed what keeps bringing you back there.
What if the way your body has learned to stand, sit and move is putting it under strain you don't even notice?
And what if you could change that?
The clues are in how you move
You see a squat. I see about 20 things happening before you’ve even started to lower yourself.
There’s a whole world of movement happening beneath the exercises you do.
And it’s those hidden patterns that can put unnecessary strain through your body, leading to pain and injury.
That’s what we’ll explore in your Move Free assessment.
Expect light-bulb moments
This isn’t me measuring you and telling you what’s wrong.
It’s a hands-on experience where you’ll discover things about your body you’ve never noticed before.
Suddenly, things that never made sense start clicking into place.
You’ll leave understanding more about why pain keeps returning, where unnecessary strain is building and what needs to change.
Can you really prevent pain & injury?
Nobody can promise you’ll never experience pain or injury again. That’s nonsense.
But you can do far more than wait for the next problem.
You can
Change your automatic movement habits to massively reduce unnecessary strain on your body.
Build greater capacity to handle all of life's demands, not just more strength and endurance.
Recognise warning signs and take action before small problems get bigger. Instead of taping them up or hoping they'll go away.
What if changing how you move was part of the fun?
Coaching isn’t just about fixing problems. It’s about discovering what your body can do.
You might discover that an exercise you’ve done hundreds of times can feel completely different. Easier. More natural. With parts of your body joining in that you didn’t even realise were missing.
And as you learn new ways of moving, you begin to discover just how much more your body is capable of.
What does being Capable of More actually look like?
It’s different for everyone. But here’s what people I’ve worked with have gone on to achieve.
- From lying on the floor with back pain after a short run... To returning to the Coast to Coast challenge they first took on as a teenager.
- Enjoying their first full day out without ending up in bed with back pain.
- Competing in powerlifting at 60 without injury.
- From being ready to throw away their running shoes... To completing a Half Ironman
- From recurring running injuries... To running a marathon without the usual setbacks and completing a first ultra.
- No longer needing the knee brace they'd relied on.
And sometimes, success looks different.
Recognising that a knee replacement was the right next step, after understanding how much the knee was affecting movement throughout the body.
It's not just about getting out of pain.
It’s about getting back to the things you love, discovering what else you’re capable of and having more choice over what comes next.

"Working with Julie has been life-changing"
“She got me round my last marathon without knee pain after just 3 weeks of working together. Now, I’m more supple, mobile & have less headaches and I’m not suffering recurring injuries. The best bit is I feel more capable. I’ve even signed up for my first ultra marathon”

We’ll find out if my approach is right for where you are now.

Expect light-bulb moments. Discover connections you didn’t see before.

Hi I'm Julie
A movement coach and sports injury specialist based in Bromley Cross, Bolton.
I’m not very good at accepting an explanation when it doesn’t quite add up.
That’s what led me down the movement, recovery and human-performance rabbit hole and shaped the way I coach today.
I look for patterns. I ask questions. I test things.
Because when someone has spent years thinking:“I’ve got a weak back.” Or “I’m just rubbish at downhills.” And “This is what happens as you get older.”
My first thought is: Maybe. But let’s find out.
This is Phil
Sometimes two pairs of eyes are better than one.
Phil is my partner and works alongside me in the business, with particular expertise in foot mechanics, gait and breathing.
He also brings more than 30 years of climbing and bouldering experience and a slightly different perspective on how bodies solve movement problems.
This is for you if...
You’re fed up with recurring pain and injuries and want to know WHY they keep happening.
Maybe your back keeps flaring up. One injury gets sorted and another appears. Or you’re still active but increasingly relying on workarounds to keep going.
You’ve tried treatment, stretching, strengthening or resting. Some of it helps, but the problem keeps returning. You suspect there’s more to solving pain than simply treating where it hurts.
You want to discover what you’re doing that’s creating unnecessary strain and how to change it. You’re curious and willing to do things differently.
Because you don’t just want to get out of pain. You want to know how to stop ending up back there.
Real results, real people
Aiden, 1:1 client, Lymm
"Julie helps me get the most from what my body can do."
“Within 3 months, I was going box-to-box like Bellingham again and now I’ve run for 22 minutes and even been skiing. Julie challenges conventional wisdom, keeps me accountable, and shows what’s truly possible.”
“I’ve seen such an improvement that I am thrilled that I have returned to running. I even completed a sprint triathlon for the first time in 6 years.”
"It's given me the confidence to get back running which I didn't think I would do again. It's been liberating! Through this process I will end up better than before the pain started. So in a way it was a bit of a wakeup call and will set me up for the future."
"This has been life-changing for me and one of the best investments in my health that I have done. I am now free from pain in my hips and have better movement in my spine and whole body, as well as an improvement in mental health"
"I was ready to burn my running shoes and give up due to ongoing pain and injury. But now my plantar fasciitis is completely gone. No more foot pain or back pain. And I am closing in on my half marathon goal. I use everything you taught me and it pays off"
Ready to find out what you have been missing?
You’ve tried managing the pain. Perhaps it’s time to explore why it keeps coming back and what you could do differently.
Lets talk.
I’m based in Bromley Cross, Bolton and work with clients in person from across the North West.
